My sister and her “boyfriend” have been together for about 30 years now and their daughters are in their 20’s. I don’t expect a wedding for the foreseeable future. 😹

[@Tuinierenopstrobalen]

Same here, we just don't see the use of it, you can arrange every practical thing that is involved when it comes to laws and equality. It's not a big hassle, and we've seen too many marriages end up in horrible divorces. Dutch people are down to earth, especially when it comes to old institutions like marriage.

[@AudieHolland]

Just in case a couple wishes some more security in their relation, they can always apply for a Samenlevingscontract. That's about what marriage means for the law, only you don't have to spend a fortune on any ceremony. But do sign it with a notary present to make it an official document.

[@dennishendrikx3228]

My guy... I went to my brother at 18 o'clock. I ring the doorbell, he opens the door, looks at me and said ; "We are eating" , while not moving away from the doorstep. My wife is Greek, and I saw her face malfunction. That was funny and sad at the same time.

[@missteacup9726]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Fuzz82]

Haha I know right.. In a lot of cultures, it basically speaks for itself to invite your guests for diner. Not it the Netherlands.... Don't assume you can stay for diner in a Dutch home if this was not mentioned beforhand. And arriving during diner time makes for an awkward and uncomfortable situation.

Omg soooo true, don't show up unannounced, living together rather than getting married, even with kids... No helmet EVER, red is the new green, big windows and no curtains to show off our interior hihi made me laugh out loud 😂🤣

No curtains isn't to show off the interior but to show you have noting to hide. Well, originally that is, lol.

[@DataStorm1]

@@Linda-hs1lk meh, not really, we like to have some light in the house.... also, the parents used (as in 80+ years ago) to sleep on ground floor in the living room in a "bedstee" (basically a closet with a bed in it), when they got up and dressed, they opened the curtains.

1:56 at my place unexpected guests are indeed always welcome,.... none of my friends ever come over unanounced though.... somehow they keep making appointments 🤨

[@Dasypodidae45]

That was funny LOL. Most of it is true. I hate it when my doorbell rings out of the blue, but I do take a container with a sort of salad to work 😉

[@BabzV]

These are soooo spot on! 😂🤣🤣

[@morgonerlenstar]

Nope we don't do the pop by thing. You always make an "appointment "

[@Erger.]

You always welcome at my home bro, like every one of my friends like normale dutchies

[@boxie001]

it depends where you are and when you were born and who is visiting unexpectedly. in rural areas, it is very normal to drop by they even expect you to come around the back door. children have friends who come around without an appointment and that can continue when you are an adult. people from work being in the neighbourhood and dropping by would be weird. it is just something you know is okay or not.

[@ChrisEchoes]

Exactly this. I live quite rural and it is fine to pop by during the day or early evening. But I would never pop by someone past 2000 hrs unless we had pre-arranged to meet up.

[@DenUitvreter]

True, but then it's not really unexpected and usually at predictable times. But I lived in a city centre and worked from home for a while, I often had half a day that I couldn't get any work done because friends that happened to be in the centre stopped by for a coffee. It's also a matter of politeness, don't waste eachother's time and let eachother plan so you can get a lot of things done and have a lot of social life.

[@yuriatsugi3696]

Fair, i have a few friends that can almost always come over unnanounced.. but thats limited to them only XD

[@frankvandenbosch6527]

To funny, this is exactly how we are😂😂😂

[@BramLastname]

1 year in a relationship is nothing, Getting married after 2 years is an early marriage. Most people wait 4 to 7 years or until their kids are old enough to actively participate. Unexpected guests are a no go, And the Dutch will often tell you that, Make an appointment at least 1 hour in advance, And try to be 2 minutes early, Because they value every minute of their time And thus find it disrespectful if you invite yourself. As for the self proclaimed neighborhood cops, People will ask you to turn down the noise, Or honk at people crossing a red light, But as long as you're not an ass about it That's all that'll happen.

[@MrPascal24]

[@1981bloempje]

It depends where you live. ☺️. Where my parents live, (more rural area) people can pop in for small talk and a coffee by the backdoor. They will tell you if they have time or that they have to leave/ have other plans and you can come back later. Most people phone first to ask if it is okay to come.

[@iemand2612]

My parents did their civil partnership just last week, I'm almost 19... Most of the parents of friends are married two years after their first born!

[@76sien]

Most of this is situated in the west. I'm from the east and people come around unannounced. The only question I ask is: coffee or tea?

[@_JoyceArt]

I’m in the south, the only reason I don’t like unannounced visitors, because I like my house to be spotless before s visit. But I’d never turn away an unexpected guest.

[@denlinsch]

This is so funny, and mostly true too 😂 my husband and I got married when our son was 9 😅

[@irisbenjaminsen]

You need to announce your visit. Always! Haha it's true

[@Xynyx1]

Here in the east of the Netherlands people come by when ever they want.

[@williamgeardener2509]

Some things that people need to know. There's a big difference in culture between the various provinces. Amsterdam isn't the Netherlands and Amsterdam culture is totally different from other provinces. Going Dutch is only a stingy Amsterdam thing. In the rest of the Netherlands people will buy you a meal and don't even talk about the bill. But they will ask you about your sex life, income and political views.

[@SixieP]

Going dutch is not only a think in Amsterdam. Most time i split the bill when im going to eat something with friends

[@BramLastname]

Splitting the bill is something you do If you aren't an adult with a full-time job that just paid for cheap food, But as a student anything that exceeds 5 euros gets divided up.

[@mariadebake5483]

Asking after your income is absolutely not done here in Noord-Brabant

[@tuproc61]

Some funny stuff i saw, for sure most Dutch people don't like unexpected visitors, only i don't mind every friend can come bye. As for driving trough the red light with your bike we do it all the time at least in Amsterdam even the mayor did it once, we are always in a hurry at least in the big city's. I married traditional and had to ask her father for approval ( she comes from Spain) and afterwards we got kids, but younger people do it different nowadays.

[@nadedjat]

If someone proposed to me before we’ve been together for three years I’d probably say it’s too soon 😭😭

[@hedwignl8118]

We are never overly polite to the boss at work.. (?!). We are respectful but we can will always vent our opinions and think along with business strategies. We call it “poldermodellen”. We need to get our “two cents in” so to say and the boss needs to show he’s/she’s actually listening too. If he/she makes a different call on the matter okay but he/she will hear about it first. American style management is in the Netherlands really NOT the way to go 🤣

Accepting the whole unexpected guests things in villages is pretty normal. Most people in villages grow up with neighbors or friends just dropping by

[@DreadX10]

Yep, rural people just drop by and if the person is busy, they just stop to say hello and go on with their own lives. We don't usually use the doorbell in rural areas; the front-door isn't used that much, we go around back and give a "Volk!" shout to announce our presence.

[@ravondal1958]

I am sooo tickled you covering the Dutch. Thank you!!

[@Jeroen1969G]

It's true that many people don't like unexspected quests. The Netherlands has a very very organised culture in everything they do. You don't have to wait much time when you want to travel with busses and the train. But when you want to visit someone, or your family , please call them and they will plan it in their agenda.

[@BlueStarDragon]

Stopping by is really rare. Most of the time we plan things. If I want to see a friend I will app or call her to make an appointment.

😂😂 great reaction

[@anitaatsisteract]

there is a vast difference in various people that we will and won't have around unannounced. the people closest don't ring the bell, they just enter through the back door at will, if you have to ring the doorbell.....make an appointment.

So ffing true. However extremely funny vid. Not seen that one before. But to answer your question, no we usually make appointments, just dropping by is normally a huge no no. We like to plan our days, even our spare time. (The latter I found out, by watching an expat video, but it is true.)

most of the time getting married takes at least 5/6 years together. but depands on how long you have known each other and when you met eachother because most people here dont get married before 25 years old.

[@seven7ns]

When I meet you for a first time and I am the person who invites you to take a bite in a nice place, I will pay the bill. I invite, I pay. When our meetings get a regular character like ones every week, it is normal that we split without saying unless the other is a very poor person. But we can also choose a cheaper place so that the other can keep face. It is the friendship that counts not how expensive the meal is.
